1. Access Pabbly Connect to Integrate Instagram and Google Sheets

To start the integration process, you first need to access Pabbly Connect. Head over to the Pabbly website and navigate to the Pabbly Connect section. Here, you can sign in or create a new account if you’re a first-time user.

Once logged in, you’ll find the dashboard where you can create a new workflow. This is where the magic happens. With Pabbly Connect, you can seamlessly integrate Instagram and Google Sheets without any coding skills required.

2. Create a Workflow in Pabbly Connect

After accessing your Pabbly Connect dashboard, the next step is to create a new workflow. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button and give it a name like ‘Instagram to Google Sheets’. This will help you keep track of your integrations.

In the workflow, you will set up a trigger and an action. The trigger will be a new media post on Instagram, and the action will be to add a new row in Google Sheets. This is how you will automate the process of transferring data from Instagram to Google Sheets using Pabbly Connect.

• Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button.
• Name your workflow (e.g., ‘Instagram to Google Sheets’).
• Set up the trigger as ‘New Media Posted’ in Instagram.

By doing this, you are officially setting up the integration workflow. Pabbly Connect will now listen for any new media posts on your Instagram account.

3. Connect Your Instagram Account to Pabbly Connect

Next, you need to connect your Instagram account to Pabbly Connect. Click on the connect button in the Instagram trigger section. A prompt will appear asking for authorization. Select your Instagram account and allow the necessary permissions.

After connecting, you will need to click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to ensure that Pabbly Connect can pull in the latest data from your Instagram account. This is crucial as it verifies that the connection is successful and that data can be fetched properly.

4. Map the Data to Google Sheets

After successfully connecting Instagram, the next step is to map the data to Google Sheets. Select Google Sheets as the action app in your workflow. Choose the action event as ‘Add New Row’. This step is where you define how the data from Instagram will be inserted into your Google Sheets.

When you choose the Google Sheets action, you will be prompted to connect your Google account. Once connected, you will select the specific spreadsheet and worksheet where you want the data to be recorded. This is where Pabbly Connect shines by allowing you to specify exactly where your Instagram data will go.

• Select Google Sheets as the action app.
• Choose the action event ‘Add New Row’.
• Map the Instagram data fields to the corresponding columns in Google Sheets.

With this mapping, every time a new post is made on Instagram, the details such as username, media type, post link, caption, and date will be automatically populated in your designated Google Sheets.

5. Test the Integration and Verify Data Transfer

Finally, it’s time to test the integration. After mapping the data, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ again to check if the data flows correctly from Instagram to Google Sheets. This test will confirm that your setup is working as intended.

After running the test, check your Google Sheets to see if the new row with the Instagram post details appears. If everything is set up correctly, you should see the username, media type, post link, caption, and date populated in the new row. This is the power of Pabbly Connect in action, automating your workflow seamlessly.
